LOUISVILLE, June 2S.-Ten Brock
once the king of the running turf,
died of paralysis of the brain this
morning in the stable of his owner,
Frank j. Harper, Woodford county.
He was tied in his stall yesterday
and became very FESTIVE. Finally
he reared, and giving tremendous
jerk became cntangled breaking
his leg and falling. The gallant old
horse suffered greatly until death
came to his relief.
Ten Brock was foalcd in 1872,
and was imported by Phaeton, out
of Fannie Holland, She by Licking
ton. His records at one mile, two
miles and four miles have never
been broken, On September 9th,
1876, he ran four miles here in 7.154
in race against time. On May "A,
1887, also at Louisville. he lowered
the mile record to 1888, and a week
later he ran two miles in 3.27l. lie
had the fastest three mile record UNI
til it was cut down to 5.24 at Sheeps-
head Bay by his son, Drake Garter
He beat all the great runners of his
day except Lorillard's Parole al
Baltimore in 1877. Ten Brock
was then out ofcondition, however
His last race was on May 4th. 1878
on the track here against Mollic
Mccarthy, the California crack, in a
iour-mile heat race for $4,000
There was immense excitement
but the mare was distanced in the
first heat.
Ten Brock was foaled on the
farm where he died. He was a
sickly colt and was not trained till
3 years of age Since his withdraw
al from the turf he has been in the
stud ON Mr.. IIarper's farm. His
owner has been offered at different
times $4,000 to 100000 for him.
but would not sell him at any price.

When the appetite fails, and sleep
grows restless and unrefreshing, there is
trouble ahead The digestive organs,
when healthy, crave food, the nervous
system, when vigorous and tranquil,
gives its possessor no uneasiness at night.
A tonic, to be effective. should not be a
mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaidec
action of a sedative or a narcotic. What
is required is a medicine which invigor-
ates the stomach, and promotes assimi-
lation of food by the system by which
means the nervous system, as well as
other parts of the physical organism, are
strengthened. These are the effects of
lIostetter's Stomach Bitters, Il medicine
whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence and which physicians
commend for its tonic, anti-bilious and
other properties. 1t is used with the
best results in fever and ague, rheumatism
kidney and uterine weakness, and other
naladies.

Saturday, July Q, 1887.

THE glorious Fourth has almost
smiled on us again with warmth
of feeling commensurate with the
standing of the mercury in the Their
mometer. This day is celebrated by
all classes; by many in commence
rating the occasion as meaning a
continuance of a broad, generous
freedom; by Others as purely time
set abart for a holiday, wherein they
can enjoy themselves as best they
can. Fireworks and patriotic speeches
seem to make up a goodly part of
the days programme. Let every
one rejoice and be glad and give
thanks that we enjoy such freedom
and Independence freedom and
independence that thousands of the
Old Worlds subjects would be glad
to enjoy with us.

By all means the $4,000 appro-
priation by congress must be fought
for by friends of Delaware College.
1t was intended that the appropria-
ton should come to the College, and
now when another institution, own
ed and governed by a certain denom-
nation, are putting forth efforts to
capture the prize, it is time that a
united effort of the friends of the
College be put in working order.
The trouble existing in the faculty
is inopportune, giving a chance for
the Conference Academy lay claim to
the $4,000. By the action of one
or two trustees it looks as if the
scheme has been maturing for over
a year. No man can consistently
serve two institutions faithfully and
they should be asked to drop their
name from either one or the other.
Underhand scheming, plotting and
other tricks that tend toward de-
stroying the College, or placing it in
such condition as to make unin-
terested parties believe it to be on
the edge of closing its doors forever,
can not be too strongly condemned.
There is a rupture between the
President and Faculty it is true, and
we are sure that the Trustees will
straigthen out matters satisfactory
The correspondence in the Whining
ton NelOs has been voluminous and
many of the writers are of rather
light calibre. When the difficulty
drops as low as it has, many fair
minded and sensible people think
the President and Faculty are ter
rible set of people. The matter has
been so terribly magnified thai
many of the late reports have beer
much inflated.
At the reorganization committe,
meeting at Dover on Thursday state
ments were heard from the Presi
dent and Faculty. The Statement
of DIR. Caldwell was similar to tn,
one made here, and counterstate
ments were read denying the charge
from Professors Benton, Harter anc
Chester.
There was much talk and discus
sion which lasted until evening, ant
then the committee moved and cur
ried that the Board of Trustees NEE
on Thursday July 18th and settl
matters finally.

Monday afternoon the Rev. William
l.. White of Kingswood NJ. T.. Chapel
took three or four of his children to
bathe in the Brandywine at a place near
Moirs cannery, Some other boys were
in the water at the time. While Mr..
White was sitting on the bank friend
suddenly called his attention to the
movements of his little G-years.old son
Leroy. 1t was seen that the boy was
drowning. Mr.. White Immediately
jumped into the river, clothes and hat
on, and, swimming as fast he could,
reached the child just as it was disap-
pearing.
There was fast tide running at the
time and the swimmer had all he could
do to reach the bank as he made his
way through the water with one arm the
other supporting his son. The boys face
was black from suiIocation, but he was
quickly brought to with the aid of those
on the bank. 1t was gallant rescue
just in time Erery Erening.

IT was unfortunate that some de-
cisive and advantageous action was
not the outcome of the recognizing
committee meeting of the College
Trustees, at Dover, on Thursday.
Friends of the institution everywhere
have been on the qui rire for several
weeks and it is alike discreditable to
Delaware College and the Board of
Trustees that this matter could not
have been effectually settled long
ago and without the present and UNI
enviable publicity which has attend
ed it.
Certainly voluminous newspaper
discussion can never settle the Della
ware College controversy and the
policy of THE LEDGER has been u
neutrality regarding the personnel
of the new faculty. A time has ar
rived however, when we feel it to be
our imperative duty to the late fac
ulty to deny such statements and
impressions us have currently OBJ
tanned in the public press, and been
persistently re-echoed in the edi-
torial columns of the Morning Ne,cs
to the extreme digust of the friends
and alumni Of the college.
President Caldwell's multitude
nous and serious charges upon the
late faculty, while they have in no
wise altered public opinion in New
ark, have conspired to influence out
side opinion which can only be det-
rimental to the faculty and hurtful
to the best interests of the College.
1t has been the course of the presi-
dent to make, and endeavor to sub
stantiate in the press charges seri-
ously affecting the personal charac-
ter of the individual members of the
Faculty. After two long and ted
ious hearings of President Caldwell's
fancied wrongs they are still re-
motely distant from Il solution, and
it seems that the ends of justice and
deliberation are defeated when val.
liable time is wasted in listening tc
the Presidents charges against the
faculty and particularly DIR. Wolf
against whom he seems to hold {
particular and violent antipathy
This of course does not affect DR.
Wolf in Newark where his character
and ability are so well and favora
bly, known; it merely intensifes thu
conviction that President Caldwelli
usefulness in the college is seriously
impaired, if not absolutely multi
fled by this deplorable exhibition
of luminosity. There is practica
unanimity on this point in Newarl
and there is, too a certain sympath,
for DR.. Caldwell but both are sub
servient and identical with the tru
interests of Delaware College.
